Tiff to Text

The maximum amount for this project is $110. Please don't bid unless you have Microsoft Office XP. I need a VB.NET class made, or a VBA class module, or a COM component, that can programmatically convert faxed documents (tiff files) to text, on a computer running Microsoft Windows 2000 and Office XP. The faxes to be converted look like standard business letters (no pictures). The conversion can easily be done manually using Office Document Imaging Tool that comes in Office XP. (You can probably find a sample Tiff file on your hard drive by searching for *.tif or *.tiff.) To try this manually on your machine running Office XP, go to your Start button:: Start/Programs/Microsoft Office Tools/Microsoft Office Document Imaging. Then use it to open any .tiff file and convert the .tiff to a Word document. I need to do the same thing, but programmatically, and preferably convert to .txt rather than .doc. In VB.NET, here is how I'd like to consume your class after it's built: ....... Dim oTiff2Txt as New clsTiff2Txt() Dim fSuccess as Boolean 'SET TWO PROPERTIES [login to view URL] = "c:/Faxes/[login to view URL]" [login to view URL] = "c:/ConvertedFaxes/[login to view URL]" 'PERFORM THE CONVERSION fSuccess = [login to view URL] 'FINISH UP oTiff2Txt = Nothing If Not fSuccess Then ShowMessage("Problem converting.") End If ....... SOME POSSIBLE CLUES?: After you're in the Office Document Imaging app, go to the Help menu (or F1), and look under Getting Started/Command Line Options (IMPORTANT). There are some clues in the command lines listed there I think, for example: COMMAND LINE: "mspview -f [path:[login to view URL]]" RESULT: "Starts Office Document Imaging, performs OCR on the specified file, and then saves the file with the new OCR text." NOTE: Here are some of the files that Office XP Document Imaging uses. Microsoft licensed the OCR stuff from ScanSoft, Inc. These are already on your machine if you have Office XP: - [login to view URL] - [login to view URL] - [login to view URL] - [login to view URL] - [login to view URL] - [login to view URL] and others in that directory. ## Deliverables Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.
